Claim ledger — public pages (P001–P326)

childcare/research/ledger-public.md
This is a working research document from the childcare filing, published as written — including the parts later corrected. It is the underlying record for Whitepaper No. 1, not a summary of it.

Extraction ledger for site/childcare/index.html and site/childcare/sources/index.html, built per Verification Protocol V3. Enumeration only — no verdicts here.

This ledger is known to under-represent inferential claims. It was produced by the cheap extraction layer, which captured numbers and dates reliably and dropped causal, statutory, and inferential assertions (4 of 12 on the guardrail section — see verification-log.md). The dropped material is recovered in ledger-inferential.md; the two files are complementary and neither is complete alone.
